Post your best bird shots!

I'm shocked that Bald Eagles are on your wish list. Depending on where you live in central Kentucky, you can get to a bunch of good Bald Eagle locales in under 7 hours drive. Head west to the Mississippi River. I just saw one sitting in a corn field the other day. This is my favorite spot for Bald Eagles and Waterfowl: http://www.fws.gov/Refuge/Mingo/wild...rd_counts.html

74 Eagles were counted at Mingo two weeks ago (I only saw 15)!

I investigated potential sites on the Mississippi as you suggest.....my primary challenge is finding time. Due to work and family obligations I am limited. You may have noticed 99% of my shots are from my yard. My last out of state birding trip was almost 2 years ago. I really do appreciate your suggestion and I will bookmark that link in hopes of making a trip.

I understand that! I've barely gotten my camera out at all this winter because of time constraints. I've been begging to teach ornithology the last two years just so I have an excuse to take birding road trips again. I miss the days of teaching Natural History of the Vertebrates when I got to go on field trips every weekend.
